Built for the way we really watch

Sony's KDL-55W802A is living-room ready in both appearance and performance. You've probably been to stores where the TVs are running a high-def demo loop of flowers in a field or fish in an aquarium. That stuff looks great, but when you kick back at home, you probably watch sports, movies and TV shows, right? This set delivers a stellar picture with real-world material, in both 2D and 3D.

A pair of picture quality improvers

Sony doubled down on picture quality by using two of their most advanced video processing technologies. The new X-Reality™ Pro chip enhances detail and reduces video noise by actually drawing on a database of real patterns, shapes and textures to display a startlingly lifelike picture. You'll see the benefits of X-Reality Pro on everything from Blu-ray discs to Netflix® movies to video clips from your smartphone.

Sports fans love the way Sony's Motionflow™ XR 480 technology produces clear, lifelike motion for that at-the-game feeling. It's a finely-tuned combination of 120Hz refresh rate, backlight scanning, and some additional video processing. And Motionflow's benefits go beyond sports viewing. If you've ever wanted to get rid of that jerky, distracting image judder you see during horizontal or vertical camera pans in movies, Motionflow can do it.

Watching more on the web

More and more people moving beyond cable and satellite TV and turning to the web for day-to-day viewing. The KDL-55W802A has built-in apps for accessing the Sony Entertainment Network, home to thousands of movies, shows, games and more. You can also stream HD movies instantly from Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, or listen to Pandora® Internet radio through the TV. Built-in Wi-Fi® lets you enjoy entertainment pulled from the web or a PC on your home network without connecting an Ethernet cable.

New ways to connect with and control your TV

The KDL-55W802A has four HDMI inputs for connecting all of your high-def sources. But here's something cool: In addition to standard Wi-Fi operation, Sony's Wi-Fi Direct Mode completely bypasses your wireless router. The next time your friends want to share photos or videos from their smartphones, they can wirelessly "throw" the content straight to this TV. You can also do Wi-Fi mirroring if your smartphone is Miracast™ enabled.

Video Features

Dynamic Edge LED Backlight w/ Frame Dimming Technology:
Dynamic Edge LED backlighting with frame dimming delivers pitch-black night
scenes and illuminates bright scenes so they pop with vibrant color; all in a
slimmer, more attractive design. Rather than illuminating the entire screen,
lighting is boosted in just the right areas for greater contrast and a more
realistic picture.

X-Reality PRO Engine: Sony's X-Reality PRO Engine lets you
enjoy a vivid, lifelike picture experience by analyzing each scene
pixel-by-pixel so you see sharpened images, amazing contrast, and fine detail.
Blu-ray Disc movies, cable TV, satellite TV, and even Web videos each place
unique demands on the processing circuits of a TV. The X-Reality PRO Engine
helps get the best results from these different video sources by analyzing
texture, outline, contrast, and color reproduction. The X-Reality PRO Engine
will then analyze each scene pixel-by-pixel across 3-dimensions (Width, Height,
and Time) and uses sophisticated pattern matching to optimize the picture,
ensuring you always get the best images possible.

True Cinema: Images, such as a movie created in 24fps
are reproduced at the original frame rate.

1080p Resolution: The Sony KDL-W802A series television has a HD native
resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080p). All video signals from
standard definition and high definition sources are displayed at 1920 x 1080. The Sony KDL-W802A series
TV is equipped with HDMI, Component,
and Composite video inputs.

4 HDMI Inputs: The KDL-W802A series TV is fitted with
four HDMI inputs to connect your high-definition sources; such as
Blu-ray/DVD player, Satellite/Cable receiver, game system, and AV
receiver. In addition, any HDMI input can be used to connect a PC to this
TV. The HDMI inputs will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i
signals.

24pTrue Cinema (24p Input Capability): Many movies are filmed at 24 frames per second
(fps) and prime time TV programs are video taped at 24p. Seizing on an
opportunity, some studios are taking a purist approach and encoding high
definition video content such as Blu-ray Disc in 24p. Sony wisely takes
advantage of this by including 24p input capability via HDMI on this television
producing images that are smooth and natural looking.

MHL Compatible: The HDMI 2 input is designed for the
connection of select mobile phones and other portable electronic devices using
the new MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) standard. Simply plug your MHL
compatible smartphone into the TV's HDMI 2 (MHL) input using the HDMI cable that
is included with your mobile phone. MHL allows you to display full 1080p video
and still images on the Sony TV from your mobile smartphone. The TV's IR
remote can be used to control basic playback functions (such as Play/Pause,
Stop, Fast Forward/Rewind, and Menu navigation). Your MHL compliant device will
also charge while connected to the TV's HDMI 2 input. To find MHL-certified
devices, go to
www.mhlconsortium.org.

Depth Control: You can adjust the depth of the 3D image
to your personal preference.

2D-to-3D Conversion: To ensure that you can enjoy 3D
any time you want, Sony has incorporated 2D-to-3D conversion, which allows
you to watch your favorite 2D movies, TV programs, or games in virtual 3D.

SimulView Gaming: SimulView gaming presents
2 different Full HD pictures at once on the LED-LCD TV, making it so each
player sees only their unique point of view across the entire screen while
wearing light, comfortable glasses (TDG-SV5P, sold separately) that don't
need batteries. There's already a growing collection of fun-filled PS3 games
with SimulView technology.

Note: The Sony LED-LCD TV can display in 3D via 3D
broadcasting or when the TV is connected to a compatible device, such as a
3D-ready Blu-ray player with 3D content. The TV must be connected to your 3D
source via HDMI (v.1.4) and you must wear the included passive 3D glasses in
order to see these images in 3D (three-dimensional) format.

Automatic Intelligence: The TV's built-in Light Sensor
automatically adjusts the picture brightness based on the amount of light in the
room. As a result, you can enjoy automatic customized picture brightness and
save energy without lifting a finger. The televisions Advance Contrast Enhancer
(ACE) automatically adjusts backlight and contrast to the most suitable setting
judging from the brightness of the screen. This setting is especially effective
for dark scenes, and will increase the contrast distinction for the darker
picture scenes. The ACE can be set to High, Medium, Low, or Off.

Wide Mode: The Wide Mode feature allows you to select the
screen display which fits the current video image and TV screen best. Based on
the original signal source, you may see black bars around the picture or just on
the both sides of the screen. Sometimes you will see the picture fill the full
screen.

from being changed.

MPEG Noise Reduction: MPEG Noise Reduction enhances
detail in whatever you're watching with meticulous processing. It even helps
clean up video from DVD, digital broadcasts, USB and PC sources so the
picture looks pristine and vivid. You can set the level of noise reduction
to High, Medium, Low, or Off.

PIP (Picture in Picture): Picture-in-Picture displays an image
from a connected PC (via HDMI) in full-screen and a TV program or external
analog input in an inset window. You can swap audio between the main
and sub window. You can also change the channel of the sub window. You cannot view another HDMI source in the
inset window.

Audio Features

S-Force Front Surround: S-FORCE Front Surround provides a
virtual surround experience made possible using just two front speakers. S-Force
Front Surround simulates 5.1ch surround sound, with an enlarged sweet spot that
everyone in the room can enjoy. You can active a 3D mode to generate a virtual
three-dimensional sound effect to match your 3D video.

Sound Position: The speakers of this TV provide different
sound images according to how you position the television. You can select
between "Table-Top Stand" or "Wall Mount/Floor Stand" to provide the best sound
quality based on the television's placement.

Preset Sound Modes + 7-Band EQ: The TV offers five preset
sound modes (Standard, Music, Cinema, Game, Sports). The TV is also equipped
with a 7-band EQ (100Hz, 200Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 5kHz, 10kHz). You can adjust
the level of each band between -12 to +12 dB.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel in HDMI
1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to an
A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any
separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the
television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used
to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables
connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection,
inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard
through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The
audio from the TV's tuner, network connection, and USB input can pass as Dolby
Digital or 2ch PCM. HDMI and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM
only.

Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC
for this function to work properly. When connecting an A/V receiver that is
compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI IN 1
port. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel
(ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is
necessary.

Audio Outputs: The Sony HDTV offers analog and digital audio
outputs.

Headphone/Analog Output: The TV's 3.5mm analog output
can be used to connect a set of headphones or as an audio output to connect
your home theater receiver or soundbar system. You will need a
minijack-to-RCA adapter (sold separately) to make a stereo RCA connection
between the television and your AV receiver. The TV's analog audio output
terminal will output 2ch audio from any of the television's source inputs.
You can set the TV's analog output to Fixed or Variable. You can set the TV
to automatically mute the built-in speakers when a set of headphones are
connected.

Digital Audio Output: An optical digital output is
provided to allow you to connect the unit to a surround processor. The TV's
digital audio output terminal outputs a Dolby Digital or 2-channel
down-mixed PCM signal for use with an external Dolby Digital decoder or
other external audio system with an optical audio input. The TV's optical
digital terminal will output audio from the television's antenna, HDMI, and
RCA inputs. The digital optical output terminal only sends an audio signal
in Dolby Digital when receiving Dolby Digital surround sound from the TV's
built-in tuner, network connection, or connected USB device. The optical
digital audio output will only output in 2ch stereo from sources connected
to the TV via HDMI, or RCA.

Beautiful picture

Purchased this to replace a 40 inch Sony tv that was about six years old, which was a little small for my room. Setup was easy including internet access via WiFi. The sound is good enough for regular viewing, but I use a Bose 3 2 1 when watching movies. The picture quality is fantastic right out of the box. Would recommend this set for anyone needing a 55 inch tv.

Awesome picture

I'm not a big screen tv person, but boy do I love this tv. I replaced our Sony 42" which was so beautiful to look at with its glass edge, that I hesitated to buy a new one...they all look like dark giant black box. Not very attractive but I digress. Set up was a snap and the longest thing was the cable company's hd and sync with my new tv. This picture is so beautiful I find myself looking at commercials because the image is so rich. I like to watch tennis and on my old tv i barely could see the balls...now I'm calling the shots whether balls are in or out. Granted the cable company signal I had before was the real reason I has such a crappy tv experience, but this tv takes it to another level. I am so happy for the quality of Sony in this TV.

Very Happy

Written By EdM, VA on Tuesday, July 23, 2013

I've been very impressed with this television so far. I preferred the color and picture of this set when compared to the Sumsung F7100 which was my other option. Blu-ray movies look fantastic on this set. I purchased a Sony sound bar and you can tell a huge difference between the sound bar and the TV speakers. I really enjoy the free year of Netflix and Hulu Plus! For the money, I feel like this is a great set!

Pros:Awesome picture quality. Easy menu navigation.

Cons:After a week, the Netflix app stopped working on the TV. It fails to load any video content and I get a Netflix error saying it can't play the content at this time. I'm not too concerned as I can stream movies through our Blu-ray player. I'm chalking the problem up to the Netflix application itself and not an issue with the TV. This TV is great!

Great TV

The picture on this tv is very clean and vivid. The picture is sharp and the colors are natural. Four pair of 3D glasses are very lightweight and easy to wear. Bravia sync works very well with other Sony products. The "simulated" 3D (converting regular 2D programming to 3D) is not near as immersive as the pure 3D programming, but it does add some depth, not enough to have it on all he time. All in all, a good value for the money.
